Any more personal digs from any party in this thread will result in infractions.

I like the way they arrange the packages .. better than Virgins way of doing it.

Yes calm down and lets have opinions and views and no insults.

To be fair, this thread is about cable TV generally, not just video on demand.

As you all know I'm a Sky customer however I have a VM TV box as well , I think VM could strengthen their content offering with some quality apps on TIVO.

Example Live 365 Internet radio would be great for thousands of worldwide radio content
Lovefilm - some sort of sub deal for VM customers ( this will be a tough one to thrash out )
MLBTV Added sports content.

Lovefilm is the real killer application, I think, given the right deal for subscribers. It's all about content, not channels!

I agree , the only problems I can see are VM striking a deal beneficial to both parties and the ruling from the Competition commission will be an interesting one as this could affect Lovefilms future plans.

I respect that opinion, as it is expressed by quite a few who post on these matters, but I don't really understand it, I confess. As long as I have the content, I don't care whether I am watching a channel, VOD, or (in the future) streaming content from the internet via my TIVO box (when I get it).

This all assumes, of course, that the system is working correctly, that we don't keep losing episodes and we don't have programmes from series pulled before we have seen them.

Why do you think that viewing by channels is important? I really want to know why this view is knocking about so widely.

And the past few pages sum up VM's challenge - so many people want so many different things, so whatever they do, it won't be right (IMHO).

Because linear channels are still very important nowadays to the vast majority of viewers and they are still willing to pay for them now and in future.
